Market Potential Estimation Methodology
Overview
This study covers the outlook for products and services in Ribeira Grande. Estimates reported are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for Ribeira Grande across hundreds of categories (in millions of U.S. dollars) and of the region and of the globe.

The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total reven
